Random BSOD's In Windows 7 64bit?
Feb 10, 2013
I recently bought some new ram *about a week ago* and since then I have been getting random BSOD's, but I'm not totally sure that its actually the ram as most of the time the PC runs just fine, mostly the BSOD's happen when I just turn on the PC from it being off *a cold start ?*.
System:
PII 955BE @ 3.9GHz
12GB DDR3 Cas 8 1600MHz (1 set of 2 x 2GB and another set of 2 4GB all running at v1.5 8-8-8-24-2T and Auto in the Bios)
Gigabyte HD4890OC
ASRock 990FX Extreme
I'm going to run memtest later tonight and see what that brings up and I'm going to check my system drivers etc, I'd just like some input from the community on this issue . I'm hoping its not my motherboard .

My laptop is BSOD'ing at random times and seems to throw up different reasons. The most popular seems to be Memory Management & Driver IRQL Equal or Less errors. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5750 Running windows 7 64bit.

Been having some crashes.At first they occurred on start up. Claiming the computer wasn't properly shut down. Now today, the other crashes started, with the first happening out of nowhere, the second happening upon starting a video game. I've been without crashes for a while now, only having used my browser(Opera) and copying some files to an external hard drive. As well as the SF tool.I only have 2 dump files available. SF tool file should be in attachments, unless I made a mistake somewhere

I reformatted my computer multiple times, yet my computer seems to BSOD randomly.What happenes is that everything becomes unresponsive; cant alt+tab, cant ctrl+alt+del etc etc. everything freezes randomly... then boom, BSOD. its happened twice, with no apparent pattern.And then, when it restarts, it tries booting but then it goes into the boot selection screen and my SSD is nowhere to be found. I have to power off then power on again for it to boot up and log in.

Over the past few days, my desktop computer has restarted twice randomly. Both times have been during times of low demand on the computer. The first time on 7/20/12 I was browsing the internet. The second was on 7/21/12 during a time when I left the computer idle on a browser for a phone call and came back to find my computer restarted with no information about windows updates or anything that I would expect to cause an automatic restart.I have not run into this problem before so I checked a few things which I thought may be a problem. First I did a virus scan because I have had a few problems with infections in the past. I ran several virus programs including malwarebytes, hitmanpro 3.6.0 (trial), microsoft security essentials, and spybot. After the first restart, I found a bootkit with hitman pro (Master Boot Record (Sector 0) in C:$MBR) which was deleted successfully according to the program.To be safe, I restarted and reran all the virus scans and found no further infection. I restarted another time in safe mode and ran them again and still found nothing else. However, the computer restarted today for a second time despite this infection being cleared. I reran the virus scans and found nothing again.Additionally, I loaded a hardware monitor program to check my computer temperatures and found them to be quite comfortable. My video card idle is running at 45C and my processor is running at 28C. I am running windows 7 64 bit which I installed from a disc on a desktop with an AMD Phenom II x6 1090T 3.20GHz processor, 8 GB RAM, and NVIDIA Geforce GTX 470 video card.

x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? 64 bit
- the original installed OS on the system? this is a built computer by myself. have had 64 bit forever on here
- an OEM or full retail version? oem
- What is the age of system (hardware)? memory is about 2 years old everything else is about 5 years old
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) os was installed a few months ago.attached is the info that was requested. these blue screens happen at completely random times. could be during boot up. could be just sitting in sleep and blue screen.

A couple weeks ago I started having random BSOD and restarts, I have researched several different solutions to no avail. At one point, I thought the problem was solved after restoring a restore point, however, the dreaded BSOD is back after a couple of days.
- Restored the earliest restore point
- Ran chkdsk with no errors
- Ran full scan AV (just in case) using MSSE.
- Updated all Windows and drivers updates.
I believe this is related to a driver issue, however, I'm not sure which one.Attached is both the BSOD App and System Health data.
Basic specs:
- Windows 7 x64
- Original Install
- OEM
- System age: 6 months
- OS install age: 6 months (not reinstalled)

This started happening last night while i was playing Borderlands 2, it has happened at idle, playing just about any game in my library, during downloads and just browsing the web. I changed all of my accessible drivers, and it continued to happen, so i moved all of my personal files onto my external HDD. I re installed windows on my SSD (did not reformat) and reformatted my HDD. I re installed my drivers, re-enabled SLI and it ran fine for about an hour, just downloading WoW, and then happened again twice.

I never used it heavily at the start and assumed it was just a driver and that i'd figure it out later.Well; now is later and I can't figure it out.I've done a re-install of the OS (HP recovery)This system is about a year old and is an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with AMD Phenom II N850 Triple Core @2.2 ghz 6 gig memory 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

I was getting some random BSOD's when I started using my desktop PC again a couple weeks ago. It has fairly new components and I update the drivers regularly. I tried all I could to diagnose the dmp files and fix it myself, but after many continued BSOD's I gave up, wiped my drive, and re-installed Windows. After recieving yet another BSOD after my re-install, I booted Memtest to check my RAM and it passed 7 times looping with no errors. Since then I have recieved another BSOD for a total of two since my wipe yesterday. I am running Win 7 64-bit OEM which like I said, I re-installed yesterday. I am re-booting out of safe mode to post my 'perfmon /report' because it apparently can't be done in safe mode.
Edit: I attached the perfmon report. It must have incorrectly analyzed my components because it says that they are all rated at zero. I re-did it and it did the same thing so I don't know what to think of that...

I've recently built a new PC of which I've had to replace the motherboard already due to it being faulty. Since installing the new motherboard, re-installing all components and re-installing Win 7 on my SSD, I've been getting random BSOD's 1-2 times per day, bug check code 1e. My computer will not go in to sleep mode either without a BSOD - albeit a different bug check code: 0a. I had no such problems on my old board leading me to believe it is a motherboard issue, albeit I'm trying to verify this in order to be able to RMA it if needed.
PC Specs: All running at stock settings
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Intel i7 2600k 3.4Ghz (1155)
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 (F10)
Corsair Sport 4x4GB (16GB) DDR3 RAM
ZOTAC nVidia GeForce 560 GTX
On board sound
OS hard drive: Crucial M4 256GB
2nd, 3rd drives: WD 500GB WD5000AAKS-00YGA0
4th drive: SAMSUNG HD204UI 2TB
The BSOD just happens randomly for no apparent reason. There is nothing in event viewer indicating what the problem could be.

I have been struggling with this for some time so I will try to describe everything I've done to date. I have: Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit The hardware is under 2 years old. I have recently re-installed the OS but the trouble predates that. Since last June, I have been receiving BSOD's after the Post but during Starting Windows screen.They all seem to revolve around "ntoskrnl.exe" and my WhoCrashed program has consistently indicated its a driver issue. So I started peeling back the layers.I took out the SLI'd second video card. Still happened, I uninstalled Norton, still happened. I ran the RAM diagnostic tool, everything came back clean. It hit a spike recently and I RMA'd my motherboard. That was a week ago. I installed Windows on a brand new hard drive to mitigate variables. It worked great for 2 days then today, BAM, my first BSOD since the rebuild. This BSOD is consistent with the ones I was receiving before the rebuild. It seems to be random, I can go a week with no BSOD, and then BSOD repeatedly for the next several days. I'm slowly being driven insane little by little. I have used the UniBlue driver scanner and it tells me everything is up to date except for the Marvell Driver which is a raid controller and a controller that I have nothing plugged into. I did not install that this most recent build. Could it be a RAM problem? A BIOS issue? I am not a pro at the BIOS configuration but it doesn't "feel" like that's the problem since it consistently boots, etc.Anyway, I put myself at the forum's mercy.

My computer has a msi 648 max which is old, but still works. It has 2 G of ddr ram by Kingston. The chipset is sis 648. When the os was xp. I did not remember I even had one bsod. I upgraded the os to windows 7 ultimate. Since then, I got bsod from time to time. It does not matter whether I am actually using the computer or it sits idle showing only the wall paper. All the drivers used are the microsoft default drivers. Only the video and the network card drivers are from the manufacturers, designed for windows 7. I do not have other devices plugged into the pci slots. The video card is a agp card. I attach two zipped files for you to review.

"2 years ago I built my own PC, and every component was brand new, except my hard drive (which I got a new one shortly after). I installed Windows 7 and everything was going great during the install until my computer BSOD. I think to myself "Ok..." but the computer restarts successfully and I just shrug it off in the typical "Oh Windows..Jump to a few months later. I start having BSOD every few start ups, until it eventually got to where it was more often that not. The odd thing was, it would only BSOD during startup, and once it was up, it ran like a champ. So my lazy solution was just usually put my computer on standby. Well, then comes a day when I have to restart my computer for some program or driver installation, and the computer never comes back on. Try to use Startup Repair on the Recovery Disk, but to no avail. I suspected my RAM, so I swapped it out with another (compatible) set I had available. Unfortunately, the computer would never start up. It would literally not power up. So I ended up replacing the motherboard. Now my computer starts up fine, and my computer seems to be normal until.The BSOD soon returns, and I suspect that it could be a software issue. I reinstall Windows. This seems to fix the problem... for a little while. A few short weeks later the problem returned. I am severely frustrated at this point. I can't get Windows to boot more than 1 out of 20 start ups. I start running diagnostics. CHKDSK, memtest86, Seagate's Hard drive tools. Eventually it gets to where Windows won't start at all. What's worse, the recovery disk won't even boot. If I'm correct, this means that it can't be a hard drive issue?
I had a copy of Ubuntu available, and I install that on a small partition I hadn't used yet. It boots some of the time. Other times, it has issues as well.if I've replaced the motherboard, run Memtest86 with no errors, and am unable to boot to the recovery CD, does that mean that it is my processor at fault? From what I researched, processor defects are rather uncommon, and usually due to over heating (and I have a pretty substantial cooling system). The other thing that's niggling my brain is that my computer can run sometimes. For instance, I'm typing this on Ubuntu right now. If the processor is messed up, how is it running this at the moment?"I put my SATA drive (the original) in a different, working computer and it wouldn't start up either. So I switched to a different IDE hard drive and formatted it and installed Windows. It works for a few runs before it stops working completely and now no matter what I cannot get into Windows. Safe mode doesn't work. It crashes on the boot CD. Some (but not all) of my BSOD are actually green, but I don't know if that means anything special. [code]

BSODS while on desktop or playing BF3, ME3, SWTOR etc. Clean install of Win 7 results are still the same. I didnt save the dumps pre reinstall so I cant say if they are identical but they do seem the same.
Ive tried to follow the steps for posting here but the link for the BSOD Dump & System File Collection app is non-existent.
Ive attached the dump files (eventually got them to zip...bloody Windows 7 admin pain). If anyone could have a quick look and give an idea of where the problem might be. I going to swap the ram with some other crucial sticks i have to see if that changes anything.
Ive viewed them through the windows debugging tool but still doesn't mean much to me and I can see any clear reference that I can follow up.

I've just recently started getting BSODs just after signing into windows and then at random after restarts. Sometimes after a BSOD my monitor says it cannot detect a HDMI signal even though the computer is on and the wire is plugged in. After I switch the computer off and on the display shows as normal. Sometiimes after a BSOD and I restart the computer windows doesn't load at all and just remains on a black screen with no HDD activity.The BSOD also tends to come when I start Lord of the Rings online. I had this problem before (about 8 months ago) and I replaced the graphics card, power supply, full reinstall of windows and it went away.I've run memtest64, windows mem test, chkdsk, and the buit in Dell diagnostics and they all showed nothing.I thought it could be my ASUS graphics card as I read other peope had had problems with its driver, so I removed that and it made no difference.I have run a fully updated Malwarebytes and McAfee Security Centre and they show nothing.

Windows 7 ultimate x64 Retail, I am getting random BSOD's after the brand new install and format, also I have used a program called Driver Genius 2011 to scan for any errors and so far none were found, I cant even decide what triggers the BSOD's. My PC specs are in my profile and have only had it since Christmas 2010, with the recent addition of a Radeon HD 6770 card in order to play SWTOR. I can't for the life of me figure out how it is still doing it after a clean install. Someone, anyone, please help. I've followed the posting instructions and have uploaded both requested files in a .zip file!

The poblems started a few weeks ago when i upgraded the CPU and the GPU. The vendors of the components and the motherboard stayed the same. (E6550 --> E8500 and HD4850 --> HD6850)It had some crashes before but now it got realy bad so i reinstalled the system, updated MB bios, dowloaded drivers from vendor sites, updated everything and only installed basic 3rd party drivers and software.The crashes still remained they happen more often when the computer is under heavy load (3D operations, games running), but they also occur if im playing a video or just use a web browser.I ran memtest, chkdisk but nothing, then furmark and intelliburn but no effect.The remaining drivers came up clean with verifier, and i looked after anything that came up from the crashdumps but my windbg knowledge is limited.

Just reinstalled Windows on a new Samsung PM 830 SSD. Can't tell if its the SSD or the other things that I have installed. Sometimes it gives the BSOD screen, sometimes Explorer just goes missing and Task Manager would be unavailable. These days the BSODs come more often and with little warning.

Every now and then, my computer BSODs, then restarts, but then it cannot boot into the drive that windows is installed in. It says that there is a broken windows installation and that I should use the Windows install disk to repair it. Thing is, I don't have a windows install disk because I'm using an .iso provided by my school.Anyway, after waiting some time or unplugging/plugging back the hard drive, it randomly successfully boots into windows again. I can't think of any reason why this would be...is this a software or hardware problem?My setup is Windows 7 on an SSD and Ubuntu on a standard hard disk, with Grub as my boot loader.I also looked in minidumps and there aren't any crash logs from when my computer BSOD'd, which is even weirder.

Over the past few weeks I have been getting intermittent BSOD's and pc freezes. When the pc has frozen (does not respond to any keyboard commands etc) it sort of powers up, but I get no signal to the monitors and no 'beep' as when the pc boots up properly.If I leave it for 10-15mins it will boot up again fine, but then I get BSOD's. I have had multiple errors such as SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION , BAD_POOL_CALLER, and the BSOD not giving an error as before but listing a .sys file, such as FLTMGR.SYS, TCPIP.SYS, ATAPORT.SYS, NFTS.SYS.I haven't recently installed any new hardware apart from a new 4gb of ram (2x2gb sticks) which I have had for 3 months + now. The only other hardware/software I installed recently was a Logitech webcam, and oddly the crashes did start occuring after this.I have ran memtest for multiple sweeps on each stick of ram and no issue, I have also ran chkdsk and it found no errors.The pc this morning has really been BSOD'ing like mad, so I now have it in safe mode replicating what I was doing and no BSOD as of yet.I have a minidump of the most recent BSOD (as they dont always report a BSOD when they freeze).My pc is around 3.5yrs old, is running Windows 7 64bit, has an Intel Pentium CPU E2220 2.4 ghz processor, and 8gb of DDR2 ram.
